I am not sure what secret are you talking about with uplink.
I am taking about the SF netdevice to have the NETNS_LOCAL not the SF rep.
SF rep anyway has NETNS_LOCAL set.
I do not follow your comment - 'that will not work'. Can you please explain?
Do you mean I should take care for SF's netdevice to have NETNS_LOCAL in first
patchset or you mean setting NETNS_LOCAL for VF's Netdev will not work?
If its later, sure it will break the backward compatibility, so will not do as
default.
But yes, SF I want to subsequently.
